Harcourt, Leveson Francis. Sanitary engineering with respect to water supply and sewage disposal. *$4.50. Longmans.
7–35189.
A valuable general text-book. “In addition to a very complete discussion of the subject of water supplies in all its aspects, including sources, collection and storage, purification, distribution and statistics of water consumption, and a rather brief summary of the methods of sewage disposal, the writer takes up very fully the whole subject of sewerage, and more briefly that of garbage disposal.” (Technical Lit.)
“Important book.”

“We think we do the author no injustice in saying that throughout his book he writes like a person experienced in general civil engineering construction rather than like a sanitary engineer, at least as we in America now understand that term. Nevertheless he has epitomized a considerable part of water-works and sewage practice, including purification in each field, and seems to have produced a book remarkably free from errors and vagaries.”

“An addition of undoubted value to an engineer’s library. Its pleasing style, moreover, makes it a very readable work, while the abundant references to historical and current engineering work, its general breadth of view and full citations of original sources of information, commend it, in particular, to the student and to the engineer in general practice or specializing in other branches. The book lacks proper balance as a book on sanitary engineering.” Earle B. Phelps.
